gherkin of terror!

I resisted posting this for a couple of days…a couple of days too long. In future I resolve never to hesistate posting something just because it’s:

A) stupid
B) probably fake
C) really, really stupid.

Honestly, if she thought her life was ruined by her fear of pickles, just wait till she finds out what life is like as THE world-famous pickle pussy.

Operation Global Media Domination: no more games

TIAIt seems nobody cares if Harry Potter is dead. Nobody but the BBC, that is, which commented on my post about the story in the Guardian. The BBC is trawling my blog for readers: while I am somewhat stunned at this micro-, nay, nanomanagement, I’m okay with it if they’ll only give me the linkie luv. Translation: they don’t allow you to leave the URL of your blog your signature, ie like this: raincoaster. Frightfully Web 1.0 of them.

In other OGMD news, the Mento and Diet Coke Fountain Madness is dying out as those mad scientists lay the smackdown on YouTube and the video has been kaput for a week now, after nicely threatening the existence of my blog. I wonder how long you have to respond to those threats before the powers that be nuke the blog. Could be tricky, as I do not actually have electricity at home at the moment.

And although for the past several days it’s been beating the coprophilia out of the Beautiful Agony post, today nobody is interested in Watching the World Cup For Free. Is it over or something?

I only care about the Stanley Cup, yo. Do they even have ice in Carolina?

knitiloids!

KnitiloidsTwo Squid-related posts in one day!!! Can you fucking stand it???

Pretty thrilling, eh?

From Knitie, via BoingBoing, comes news of these adorable knitting patterns. Craft your very own tentacled beauty from a vanished era; I prefer the longer, more squid-like version, but then I’m a size queen when it comes to Squid.

Hey, sometimes a Squid is just a Squid.

Every scary prehistoric beast should be made into a huggable toy, and I say it’s the nautiloid’s turn.

Their living relatives include the squid, the octopus, and the famous chambered nautilus.

Yeah, that woman really has a problem. Not me, I've got it totally under control. And now that I have been up 20 hours blogging I shall go to bed.

P47 guncam footage from WWII, in colour

Just what it says, and recently declassified.

From WWII in Color.com, via Fark and Betapundit, and with the assistance of YouTube because there is no word in the English language I hate as much as I hate the word "buffering," so fuck Googlevids.
